Hi.
Here's the recording dates:
So Sorry, My Island Now (Gerry Fried's first score for series) - 12/23/64
Nyet, Nyet - 11/1/65 (recorded with Wild Wild West partial and GI library cues, the latter mostly by Don Ray). Opening cue reads 'Opening' (J. Williams) but arranged by Fried and for this episode.
It's About Time recording dates (ones I have):
Composed by Gerald Fried (unless otherwise indicated):
The Initiation, The Rainmakers - 8/16/66
The Copper Capper, Tailor Made Hero - 8/23/66
Courtship of Miles Gronk (Don Ray, Joel Davis*) - 9/6/66
Mark Your Ballots (Don Ray) - 9/13/66
The Champ (Ray) - 9/19/66 partial (p)
Androcles and Clon (Don Ray, Mort Stevens) - 10/20/66 p
Love Me, Love My Gnook (Fried) -11/9/66
Shad, Rock & Other Tortures (Stevens) - 1/3/67
Cave Family Swingers (Ray) - 1/16/67 p (rec. with GI Slave Girl, also DR)
* - Both CBS music staff
On occasion, episode titles changed between post production and broadcast.
Anyway, that's what I have.
Boughtfan - Regarding IAT episode, "The Cave Family Swingers", do you have any infomation about when the prescores were recorded for that episode (i.e. the "dinosaur stew" instrumental and overdub). Were they on 1/16/67 or another date? Also, there is a kind of Scottish jig number at the end of that show - do you know if that was tracked from a library cue/other production or if it was recorded specifically for that episode.

TVS -
The "Swingers" session also included cues for two GI shows, The Second Ginger Grant and Slave Girl and included only three players: drums (John W's brother Jerry), bass and guitar. Session was three and three-quarter hours (9:00 - 12:45), Don Ray is credited as orchestrator (an indication he composed the cues).
That's all I have on it. I'll look at the episode, try to determine if the cues mentioned were written for GI or tracked from CBS Library (the latter being rare once Mort Stevens took over from Herschel Burke Gilbert).*
* - I recall only one instance where an S1 GI cue was tracked into an S2 show. S3, as I remember, doesn't contain even a single S2 cue (though there are some tracked IAT cues in late season GI shows, both series ending production about the same time in 1967).

I'm happily lapping up every detail in this entire thread! Gilligan's Island is and always has been my favourite TV show, and its music is such a part of me I feel like it flows through my very veins. I think a complete soundtrack release of all three seasons might be my last remaining grail.

I am too! It's so fascinating to learn the details that went into recording the iconic music used in the series. A complete soundtrack release with good linear notes would be fantastic - I think there is certainly enough demand for it. We can always hope...

Boughtfan, I'm in need of your assistance once again. Could you help me with the recording dates for the following if you have them:
Gilligan's Mother In Law (S2)
Voodoo (S3)
Pass The Vegetables Please (S3)
Also, were there any recording sessions that you know of that were purely for recording library cues for GI or were they always just recorded at the end of other scores?
Thanks as always for all your help!

TVS -
I’m away, so don’t have my session reports at hand. However, I can tell you that Fried’s score for Gilligan’s Mother in Law was recorded 13 August, 1965, the same day Mort Stevens conducted the S2 Titles session (revised arrangement by Ian Freebairn-Smith). I believe Voodoo/Hair Today were recorded 7 June, 1966, Pass the Vegetables/There’s A Will a few weeks later but before Gilligan VS Gilligan/Up at Bat, Fried’s penultimate GI session (Ring Around Gilligan, recorded early September 1966 with Don Ray’s Man with a Net, was Fried’s final complete score for the series).
In my research I know of no GI Library session taking place (either conducted by Herschel Gilbert or Mort Stevens), those cues almost always recorded near the end of an hour-long drama session (WWW, Gunsmoke), at least during the Stevens years.
